Have you tried the http://linux-ha.org/ Linux high availability project? For RedHat, the Piranha project (Load-balanced generic service clustering environment) is at http://www.redhat.com/apps/community/cs_piranha.html. Jeremiah D.

However, I don't want to re-invent the wheel. Is anyone aware of a good open source HA/Load-balancing solution for Linux? IMO, this is one of the biggest features that separates Linux from the big commercial firewall vendors at the mid and high end. We're able to make Linux do 90-95% of the stuff the big commercial vendors can do, but we can't offer an open-source solution to the high-end customers that require redundancy and failover. Sure would be nice if...... I know, I know, get off my butt and write it.
